Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Failure caused by stripped or broken gear components

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler, rear. Fits 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, rear. The washer pump is not included, so confirm the existing washer system before replacement. If the wipers do not park correctly after installation, check the crank arm position on the motor shaft and reset it according to the vehicle service procedure. If the vehicle uses a moisture-sensitive wiper system, verify the rain sensor and control module operation before replacing the motor. Bench testing the wiper motor and washer pump before installation can help isolate electrical or pump-related faults.

Quality Assurance

Each motor is load tested for reliable operation and assembled with the correct lubricant amount for quiet performance and extended service life. Cardone’s design uses stronger gear material than original equipment to help reduce wear-related failure in rear wiper service.
